For one of the most original adventures possible, try the Medran Parc and its hanging path. The path is 800 metres long and will provoke strong emotions as you walk from tree to tree, aided by nepali or tyrolean bridges, or even stirrups. The path is 11.5 metres high and has four fully-equipped sides, and is therefore ideal for beginners.

You move from tree top to tree top at your own speed, meeting the challenge of each new obstacle as it occurs: suspension bridges, creepers, aerial cableways, etc.
